Lucid CEO expects Tesla to match Lucid Air’s present efficiency in 2032

Lucid Motors CEO Peter Rawlinson lately highlighted simply how far forward the Lucid Air is in comparison with its rivals in terms of effectivity. As per Rawlinson, if Tesla have been to keep up its fee of progress, the Mannequin S would match the Lucid Air Pure’s current effectivity figures in 2032. 

The Lucid CEO shared his daring remark in a post on his LinkedIn page, the place he highlighted the truth that the Lucid Air Pure has achieved 5.0 miles per kWh and 146 MPGe. This, the CEO famous, successfully makes the Lucid Air Pure essentially the most environment friendly manufacturing automobile to this point. Rawlinson included a picture evaluating the Lucid Air’s effectivity towards its rivals to focus on his level. 

“Effectivity is of vital significance in making a greater, lighter, extra spacious, longer-range automobile, and immediately impacts price to fabricate. Subsequently, effectivity is arguably the one most legitimate litmus of an organization’s core EV technological functionality,” Rawlinson wrote in his LinkedIn post. 

It could be fairly straightforward for the Lucid Air Pure to beat the Mannequin S by way of effectivity since it’s a Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) automobile and the flagship Tesla is All Wheel Drive (AWD). Tesla does have a Rear Wheel Drive automobile with good effectivity figures — the Mannequin 3 RWD — although it’s a smaller automobile than the Lucid Air Pure. As seen in fueleconomy.gov, the Mannequin 3 RWD Normal Vary has a mixed effectivity of 132 MPGe, with 140 MPGe within the metropolis and 125 MPGe on the freeway. Effectivity rankings for the Mannequin 3 Lengthy Vary RWD are anticipated to be fairly spectacular as effectively. 

The Lucid Air is undoubtedly a really effectively designed flagship automobile, although the truth that it competes within the full-size luxurious sedan phase limits its buyer base. That being stated, the Lucid Air has seen an increase in deliveries, with the corporate noting in a press release that it was capable of ship 2,394 autos within the second quarter, a 70% year-over-year improve. Lucid’s gross sales might quickly see a notable rise with the discharge of the upcoming Gravity SUV, which is predicted to start out at about $80,000.
